Workflows for Managing Inventory Objects in the vSphere Web Client

<

|

The default workflows for managing vSphere inventory objects are the workflows included in the vCenter Server 5.5 plug-in workflow library. The vCenter Server 5.5 plug-in workflow library contains workflows that you can use to run automated processes related to the vCenter Server and host management.

To access workflows in the vSphere Web Client, make sure that you configure at least one running Orchestrator server to work with the same Single Sign-On instance to which both vCenter Server and vSphere Web Client are pointing. You must also ensure that Orchestrator is registered as a vCenter Server extension. You register Orchestrator as a vCenter Server extension when you specify a user (by providing the user name and password), who has the privileges to manage vCenter Server extensions. For more information, see Installing and Configuring VMware vCenter Orchestrator.

The common workflow to access the available workflows is the following:

Configure the Orchestrator server with the same Single Sign-On insance to which both vCenter Server and vSphere Web Client point.

Ensure that Orchestrator is registered as a vCenter Server extension.

In the vSphere Web Client, configure the default Orchestrator server to use.
